Question 1

lotrimin (clotrimazole) cream ok for seborrheic dermatitis?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The condition is caused by a normal yeast organism and will usually respond to lotrimin (clotrimazole).  Another useful prescription medicine is ketoconazole.

Question 2

so i had what looked like a ringworm on my eyelid, but after putting lotrimin (clotrimazole) cream on it for a couple weeks its still there.

Accepted Answer

Give it time: Can often take 4-6 weeks for ringworm, tinea, to improve. If not better, or if worse, may be time to see a dr or dermatology specialist and have a scraping done to further evaluate this.

Question 3

is it safe to mix nystop powder and lotrimin (clotrimazole) cream? i have a really bad case of blistering, oozing tinea pedis between and under toes - for a month.

Accepted Answer

May not work as well: I would think that at best it's an overkill and at worse, it's going to minimize the effective action of Nystop. I would go with the lotrimin (clotrimazole) cream for several days, and see if the infection starts clearing. If no then switch to the powder.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes unless allergic: To any of components of the cream. Very effective for yeast and fungal infections.

Question 5

my dermo told me that the reddish area between my breasts is caused by a fungus.  loprox is too expensive.  would lotrimin (clotrimazole) 1% cream be equally good?

Accepted Answer

Maybe but call her: Docs dont always reallize what the prescription will cost you and we are happy to make a appropriate switch. But please let her/him know and avoid making a medication switch behind his back. Secrets arent good for anyone.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No: I have never seen lotrimin (clotrimazole) cause generalized rash but it is possible as an unusual reaction to the other ingredients .Stop lotimin and see md.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Did : Did you apply as directed for at least two weeks; ensuring that you spread an inch beyond the border of the lesion? Did you wash all bedsheets, towels and clothes that you were in contact with in hot water?

Question 9

can i use lotrimin (clotrimazole) af antifungal cream on testicles?

Question 10

Accepted Answer

May not be ringworm: The basic adage that if the treatment isn't working, the diagnosis may be wrong may apply in this case. The agent in lotrimin (clotrimazole) should  help if it is really ringworm, but if not better after a week you might want to have it looked at.A contact dermatitis can have some similar findings.
